Player Watch #25: Toby Nankervis - Signed Until 2026

[TigerImposter]

Turn off the tap: The small tweak changing ruckwork

Riley Beveridge has assessed the impact of the change in interpretation for ruck contests

www.afl.com.au

seems like the rule change is favouring guys like nank

A load of dribble to me as it’s insignificant just most rucks haven’t adapted fast enough to the change and it will close up soon as coaches get onto it.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Had a lot of different midfield combinations since he arrived in 2017 yet consistently been a shit clearance team, the one common dominator is this fat useless oaf. Can't direct a hit out to save himself, gets in the road of our on ballers trying to win the ball which allows the opposition to leak out the other side of the stoppage. Constantly out ran by his opponent around the ground which makes it harder to exit our 50 and easier for the opposition to exist ours. His opponent is good for a goal a game cause he can't execute a simple spoil from a long pot shot on goal.

Seriously ****ing useless player.

Garbage. Nank is fine against the best ruck combo in the league and the best clearance team in the league.

 

[Willo_23]

I think the way he plays over the years has caught up with him. Unfortunately was probably always going to have a career that ended a bit prematurely because of it (similar to Ivan) given the battering ram he’s been.

He’s obviously got a year or two in him, but maybe relinquishing the captaincy would be the best thing for him and hopefully if we have a young ruck come into the list he can help develop them as his successor

 

[TigerImposter]

He’s a poor leader and an obstacle no matter where he goes on the ground now. Struggles to do anything breathtaking anymore . Still our best ruck choice which shows how bad we are with drafting any form of big forward or Ruck.

 

[prodigy]

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Big love for the big fella . And to think some wanted to kick him to the curb to keep Soldo.

 

[tigers12]

Bad resigning has he got 2 years left in him I would have done 1 year

 

[fargothegreat]

Bad resigning has he got 2 years left in him I would have done 1 year

He's only 29. I'd be trying to bring in a young ruck to play alongside him for a couple of years, but I still think he's got two good years left in him.

 

[UncleBob]

Ranked 1st at the club for contested possessions, clearances and tackles. Having a good year.

Very important piece of the puzzle over the last 7 years.
Good on him.

 

[SunshineBoy]

Bad resigning has he got 2 years left in him I would have done 1 year

Grimes comes to mind

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

1 game for Samson Ryan and the club is like shit shit shit sign up Toby

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

In all seriousness, he’s become a whipping boy. I do like to get stuck into nank but he’s been solid. Even though he does dumb shit he’s good and I honestly don’t value ruckman.

 

[prodigy]

I would have only done 1 year with triggers for a second. I have issues with Nank's durability among other things but I won't rain on the parade and this time can be used to celebrate him. Constructive criticism can come later.

 

[Roachy8]

Don't mind the 2 years - we really need him as Ryan is far too green, Naismith is busted and our other ex baller prospects are slogging it away in the amateurs or injured...

Would ask him to relinquish the captaincy though...

I'd ask Dan Rioli to lead the club from next year.

 

[Wooden Robot]

One would have been a better idea, but we have no other real options emerging.

 

[tiger_tough]

The great man.

Top 10 for all rucks in disposals, contested possessions, intercept possessions, ground ball gets, clearances, tackles, hitouts, hitouts to advantage and pressure acts.

Having a very good year despite what the nuffies say. We'd still be just as shit with a prime trent cotchin

as captain yet the peanuts rag on Toby just because he took over when the team was over the hill.

What a pickup.

 

[Grrr]

I thik he's having a great year. Easily beat Grundy and Marshall who are going very well this year. He looks fit and strong.

 

[Lacustrus]

Nank is similar to Vlaus and Prestia.

Respected at RFC and under-appreciated elsewhere.

Likely would have at least one AA nomination if at another club.
Or put another way, if the All Australian selectors were objective (free of club link bias).

The 2019 AA is the biggest disgrace (Prestia’s dominant season , same for Vlaus 2019/2020).

I don’t hold much hope that the appalling omissions will be addressed this year.

2017 Tigers All-Australian Selection
Player	Year	Position
A Rance Captain	2017​	Full-Back​
D Martin	2017​	Centre​

Jack Dyer- Martin

 

[sante]

Without him we’d be worse off. What a pick up he has been. And for pretty much nothing

 

[Groupie_]

give up the captaincy to tarranto or baker (if he stays) next year

not a captain

 

[copthat]

Watching him live I reckon he's been carrying something but is playing through because we have no players and also barely any ruck support left on the list.

He is a big asset when we're up and about.

 

[THE_GUN]

Im ok with 2 years

Like most others have said think he should relinquish the captaincy if not for 2025 then certainly for the following year
If we didnt value him enough to give him 2 years there would be clubs that would easily give him 2 and some 3 year deals

We really dont have a replacement for him so must keep

 

[tigerisland]

Last night was the first time I thought wow. This guy really deserves to be captain. He has become far more disciplined and not giving away stupid frees. His leadership after the Cumbo brain fade was excellent. He deserves a lot of credit for his growth as captain and the discipline he has developed.

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

Been slept on


What a fantastic season he's having and genuinely doing fantastic as solo captain. Should be very proud
